Implementation of Resilience Plans: Co-financing requirements simplified for frontline regions

The Government has amended the co-financing mechanism for measures under the comprehensive Resilience Plans for regions and cities—for frontline regions, this will amount to 10–15% instead of 20%.

The respective changes provide for a differentiated approach to co-financing from local budgets. Specifically, the base level of co-financing is at least 20%. Currently, this threshold has been lowered for certain regions.

Thus, for Dnipropetrovsk region, the co-financing level has been set at no less than 15%, while for Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv regions—no less than 10% of the funds disbursed from the State Budget for the implementation of measures.

The changes apply exclusively to municipal property under the management of local communities.

“We have taken into account the actual financial situation in the regions, especially in the frontline regions. Lowering the co-financing threshold will allow communities to implement their Resilience Plans, as under martial law, local budget resources are primarily directed toward ensuring defense, security, and the functioning of critical infrastructure. This decision supports frontline communities and ensures the implementation of projects within the specified timeframes,” noted Deputy Prime Minister for the Restoration of Ukraine/Minister for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine Oleksii Kuleba.

Consequently, these changes bring the co-financing mechanism into line with the requirements of budget legislation and create the conditions for the fastest possible implementation of the measures outlined in the comprehensive Regional Resilience Plans.
